by gathering his crop on Sunday. He was
released upon the testimony Of some OF his

THREE MONTHS IN A TRANCE.

night in regard to the S~tickney falth-heal-
ing case that places the affair in a strange
light. DR.. Powers at1lrms that Cora Stick

the girl was in a trance state. Iconsulted
DIR. Charles I. Pilsbury and DR.. Graham

warm and await developments. There was
no change until Thursday. At midnight
the watchers heard sounds In the throat,

pose rapidly. | told Mrs. Stickney to pre-
pare the body for interment. | believe
that up to that time the girl was in a trance

lieve that when the girl was first thought
to have died there was water about the
breast, and when she was in the vault this
froze. When the body wasmoved this in
terfered with the action of the heart.
DR.. Palmer says that the statement at
tributed to him that a girl had beer brought

correct. He knew of a case where a girl
